Abstract

A system and method for assigning unique and immutable attributes to user profiles and associated image(s) to facilitate the dynamic indication of supervisory control and monitoring through iconic representation, steganographic processing and/or encryption processing.

Claims (26)

1. In a use of digital social media, a system having a computer comprising a microprocessor coupled to a non-transitory memory, said non-transitory memory storing computer executable logic that when executed by the microprocessor performs the following:

(a) linking an image to a supervised user account of a social network on the Internet, the supervised user account having a profile page, the supervised user account having a control parameter to enable dynamic indication of remote dynamic supervisory control and monitoring;

(b) preparing an immutable image indicator for combination with said image, the immutable image indicator showing that a supervisory or parent account monitors the supervised user account;

(c) combining the immutable image indicator with said image on the profile page; and

(d) displaying to a user visiting the profile page, on a display in communication with said microprocessor, the combined immutable image indicator and image on the profile page of the supervised user account.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein such immutable image indicator comprises a visible icon.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein such immutable image indicator comprises immutable steganographically generated data.

4. The system of claim 3 wherein such immutable image indicator further comprises an encryption key.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein such immutable image indicator further comprises an encryption key.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein said image is a user selected digital photograph.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein said image is a stock digital photograph.

8. The system of claim 1 wherein the computer executable logic that when executed by the microprocessor performs, prior to (b), setting a parameter in a supervisory account for governing access to said supervised user account and for establishing access for supervisory preference for said user account.

9. The system of claim 1 wherein the computer executable logic that when executed by the microprocessor performs, prior to (a), setting the control parameter to enable dynamic indication of remote dynamic supervisory control and monitoring of the supervised user account.

10. In a use of digital social media, a system having a computer comprising a microprocessor coupled to a non-transitory memory, said non-transitory memory storing computer executable logic that when executed by the microprocessor performs the following:

(a) linking an image to a supervised user account of a social network on the Internet, the supervised user account having a profile page, the supervised user account having a control parameter to enable dynamic indication of remote dynamic supervisory control and monitoring;

(b) preparing an immutable image indicator showing that a supervisory or parent account monitors the supervised user account; and

(c) displaying to a user visiting the profile page, on a display in communication with said microprocessor, the immutable image indicator and image on the profile page of the supervised user account.

11. The system of claim 10 wherein such immutable image indicator comprises a visible icon.

12. The system of claim 10 wherein such immutable image indicator comprises immutable steganographically generated data.

13. The system of claim 12 wherein such immutable image indicator comprises an encryption key.

14. The system of claim 10 wherein such immutable image indicator further comprises an encryption key.

15. The system of claim 10 wherein said image is a user selected digital photograph.

16. The system of claim 10 wherein said image is a stock digital photograph.

17. The system of claim 10 wherein the computer executable logic that when executed by the microprocessor performs, prior to (b), setting a parameter in a supervisory account for governing access to said supervised user account and for establishing access for supervisory preference for said user account.

18. The system of claim 10 wherein the computer executable logic that when executed by the microprocessor performs, prior to (a), setting the control parameter to enable dynamic indication of remote dynamic supervisory control and monitoring of the supervised user account.

19. The system of claim 10 , wherein the image has an outer boundary, and wherein the display displaying the immutable image indicator displays the immutable image indicator within the outer boundary of the image.
